Ukrainian media wipes out Russian bomber fleet!
Sun 2:59 pm +00:00, 1 Jun 2025Reads quite well until you get to the part about the drones being launched from Russian trucks sited at Russian gas stations, with their crews strangled, and all launched at four airfields thousands of miles apart. 1 at Caspian Sea. 2 and 3 both Moscow region. 4 Next to Norway. Emil assembles the facts and leaves you to decide if you think it likely. It would make a great movie script.
Main media has the number of bases attacked at two not four. Will the story shrink further? One airborne early warning plane…at an airfield in Mongolia. You park your old fleets somewhere, I guess. Video footage shows four planes attacked. At least one person killed. A new kind of attack not used previously to send a truck to Mongolia and fire drones through the roof. Work out range of drones and manage airfield perimeters. Build another plane or two to add to the thousands produced annually. Sorted. That’s assuming footage is recent and genuine.
The damage done to Ukraine by Russian missiles and drones disappears from the screen. Ukrainian withdrawals in Sumy and Toretsk get nicely covered up, and the resignation of a general. Ukraine has no planes to attack.
UPDATE – Ukraine lied about 41 destroyed aircraft – Their channels and media reported that. It can be said that 4 T – 95 planes, one transport plane and up to 5 Tu – 22m planes were hit. It’s not pleasant, but it is what it is.” (Slavyangrad). In strategic terms the Ukrainian sabotage attacks on Russian railways supplying the Kursk region will prove more significant.
Wyatt Lim of DPA says the production line for the bombers has been mothballed so that the attack has removed Russia’s nuclear attack capability. Over-reacting?
